I suppose every cloud has a silver lining though?, she failed on a siezed brake calliper O/S/R it had no meat left on the outside pad, and had the metal just starting to rub the disc, very lucky nothing more damaged.
The silver lining? I watched him (the mechanic) he was very thorough, She sailed through everything else, I was a little concerned about the emissions test as I was not convinced I had sealed the exhaust joints correctly after putting on the sports boxes, however the test results were very, very good, the mechanic said the readings were something he would expect to see from a car of 1 - 2 years old with about 20k on the clock! So overall chuffed
Anyway she's hopefully getting the necessary done tomorrow or Saturday, the second part of the silver lining? the garage I took her too, last year did some work for me (replaced the AC pump) but the driver who collected her damaged the front (very slightly) which I never chased up, however today I reminded the owner of the garage, so should get something off the cost of repairs as well
